(BC 1&2) Homeowner Association fees
Remember to pay your Homeowner Association fees before January 31st to avoid late fees added to your balance. The money is used to pay for electricity bills, water, mosquito fogging and all other maintenance to keep the neighborhood in good shape. The Board would like to thank all the residents who have already paid their 2012 assessments. If you need to set up a payment plan, please contact our management company Esquire Community Management at 281-444-9250.
As this newsletter item is being written in early January, we know that many of the BCS3 residents have already paid their 2012 Assessment. The Board would like to thank all those who have submitted this payment in such a timely fashion. We will be publishing updates in the upcoming newsletters to let everyone know the status of the overall 2012 Assessment payment effort. As you read this newsletter item, the deadline (January 31, 2012) will have passed to pay this bill. Any accounts not paid by this deadline will have a 10% penalty plus a monthly interest fee added to their unpaid balance. Remember that it is possible to set up a payment plan to handle the 2012 Assessment. If you are interested in this option, please contact our management company (ACMP) at 281-855-9867 and talk to our agent (Theodora Daly) about setting up such a plan.
(BCS3) NEW TEXAS LEGISLATION FOR HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS This past year, the Texas legislature passed numerous bills that specifically targeted issues pertaining to Homeowner Associations (HOA’s). These bills covered everything from record retention to voting at annual meetings to the “good standing” status of residents, as well as the installation of water capture devices, flag poles, religious symbols and other items. Because of the legalities associated with these new bills and associated guidelines, we have to alter our HOA paperwork, so as to incorporate all these new changes and guidelines into our governing documents. Failure to take this step would put the BCS3 residents at risk with respect to the HOA being able to effectively address various deed restriction issues, as well as situations that would not be deemed as acceptable for our neighborhood.
